About the book:
What happens when two lost souls find themselves? Perfect for the fans Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews.
After recent heartbreak, Skye Jackson finds herself homeless and on the road with only a classic Airstream trailer to her name. A surprise inheritance of a rundown little lodge in the grounds of beautiful Willow Tree Hall forces her to change her plans. However, there is a problem...
The lodge is co-owned by care-free, playboy Will Harris, who finds himself unemployed after a recent tabloid scandal.
Syke desperately wants a home to call her own and needs to move on as quickly as possible. Will doesn't want to stay at his family home either to face the ghosts of his past. So they decide to put aside their differences and renovate the cottage together.
But when a storm hits, Skye and Will are forced to stay on to ensure that an important wedding goes ahead. Can Skye finally find a home of her own? Can Will stop running from his past and help out his family when they need him the most?
The magic of winter at Willow Tree Hall is about to change everything...
My Review:
This is the third instalment in the Willow Tree Hall series and the first one I am reading. Well, the other characters from previous books play a major role but that cannot be considered as a hurdle to consider this as a pretty well-written stand-alone story. Skye and Will make an ideal pair and I completely loved the ending. The Willow Tree Hall is going to be decked for some enchanting weddings here.
Skye, with her fiercely independent spirit and amazing upcycling abilities, will capture any reader's heart. Being the eldest daughter, she takes the role to educate her younger sister as her irresponsible and reckless mother wanders around. A disturbingly selfless soul with impressive artistic talents, one could not but love her.
In spite of his playboy nature which effectively hides his wounded heart Will has a noble heart which is slowly unwrapped during his stay in the Hall. He is reluctant to call this his home now but Skye's rejuvenating presence triggers the healing process and there begins the journey for a happily ever after life.
An amazing story of healing, finding love and finally being back home. An energising read with the festive spirit, wedding bells and a heartwarming end, this will surely be a good pick for winter nights.
